Datasources in APO

Hello, Does anyone know how to create a datasource in APO system? I assume it is different than creating one in R/3.
Thanks,

Hi.....
APO - BW Adhoc Reporting
Steps to be performed in APO client.
(Prerequisite: existing sales cube)
Create Export Datasource for Planning Area :
SAP Easy Access Menu => DP => Environment => Current Settings
=> Administration of Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning
Specify which fields you wish to be selectable later for reporting purposes.
Don´t forget the field ?Version" (/BI0/9AVERSION)
Replicate Metadata
Create Infosource
Assign Source system and data source
Maintain transfer structure and communication structure
Create Remote Cube
Assign Source system
Create Multicube (based on sales cube and remote cube)
Create your reports with BEX according to the your requirements.
In case of APO we use Export datasource.....
Export datasource is used when you want to use BW system as a source system. If you want to send data from one datatarget to other data target within BW system then we go for export data source. right click on the target and say export data source and then go to source system tab
right click on Myselof source system and say replicate data source..then you will find datasource with prefix 8.

Creation of a web service datasource in APO BW

I am using APO V5, which includes BW V7.
I need to create a 'web service' datasource in APO BW, so that I can receive XML data from XI to update the datasource.
How can I create the 'web service' datasource?... should the 'logical system' be the connected XI system?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

You will require to create source System for Web Service Folder - Where you will require to maintain Logical System Name, Source System Name, Type and Release

Datasource on APO Planning Area - Transportation Error

Christopher,
There seems to be no extract strucutre available for this data source in quality. This is creating the problem in quality. The extract strucutre which is created in your scenario would be available in temp folder and that will not be availbale for transport, so you need to have the datasource generated in quality and then you transport the active version to quality so that it will be available with the changes as that of development.

Infoset as Datasource in APO for BW

Hello Gurus,
Need some help in creating infoset in APO and used it in BW as Datasouce,
I have created a Infoset in APO using T code SQ02.added 4 tables and the genrate.
After that i have replectated in BW source system but this datasource in not reflected in BW.
Can you pleas guide me what i have done is correct or some addictional steps need to be done.
and also some one can send me some documents on infoset in APO or ERP tha would be great help.
Thank in Advance
Regards.

Have you created a generic datasource on the infoset you created?
In Generic datasource creation(RSO2) in 'Extraction from Query' option you can give the infoset name and create a generic datasource. This datasource can be replicated into BW by selecting replicate in Sourcesystem.

RE : BI APO Question Reg Data feeding from cube to Planning area.

Hi BW Experts,
iam working in an Implementation project for SCM in BW prcisely working with APO Bw..
For that I have taken historical data as a flat file and loaded it in to the external BW Infocube and its fine...
Second step I have created generate export datasource on topr of BW infocube and replicated in to Bw and used this export datasource as datasource for APO BW Infocube which is inbulit BW System from External Bw..
also I have created tranformations and data is loaded in the BW cube in APO system.Also Included Version charecterstics..
When I try to fed the APO Cube data to planning area Iam gettinga the following warning itsnot an error:
1.Key figure copy: InfoCube - planning area (DP) 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2010-- Successful
*2.No data exists for the selection made (see long text*
Diagnosis:Data could not be loaded from the Cube for the selection you made. Check whether the Cube actually contains data that is relevant for your selection.
For the second point I have time charecterstics filled in the infocube which Iam feding to a Planning area like 0CALMONTH,0CALWEEK,FiscVarnt,0CALMONTH
3.Characteristic assignment: No data copied --- Message
Can you please help me with your thoughts so that i wll try to corner the issue I will be highly obliged

Hi,
As I understood, you have loaded data from external BW cube to APO BW cube and now loading planning area from APO BW cube.
I hope your settings in /SAPAPO/TSCUBE transaction code would be correct and you have selected the correct planning version with correct cube.
Check if Data in APO BW cube is available for reporting or not and data is avilable for given selction (if any but I guess you are not giving any).
Thanks,

PL let me know how to UPLOAD Atributes andTexts from the R/3 to APO RAS1

HI
I HAVE UPLOADED FROM EXCEL IN RSA1, BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE PROCESS HOW TO UPLOAD ATTRIBUTES AND TEXTS FROM R/3 TO APO IN RSA1
IN REALTIME(IMPLEMENTATION) USUALLY HOW THE ATTRIBUTES AND TEXTS WILL UPLOAD INTO THE RSA1 IN APO

Hi,
Generally this is how the flow is R/3 --> BI --> APO. However since APO also contains the datamarts, you can create datasources in APO as well to read directly from R/3. You can create a table datasource so that it can directly read from the tables in R/3 and load the data into APO.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

FOR BACKUP FROM PA TO CUBE IN APO 5.0

HELLO FRIENDS,
I HAVE A SMALL QUERY ,HOW TO LOAD DATA FROM PA TO CUBE
1.CREATE DATA SOURCE IN PLANNING AREA SECEEN
2.CREATE INFO PACKAGE
3.CREATE INFO CUBE
4. CREATE TRANSFORMATION
5. DPT DATA TRANSFORMATION PROCESS
THESE STEPS I HAVE CREATED BUT IAM NOT ABLE TO GET THE DATA TO CUBE FOR BACK UP PURPOSE. I AM WRONG PL CORRECT ME ,GIVE ME UR SUGGSIONS.

Sivaram,
Something I found in a BI thread:
1. The data flow is from BW to APO, and from APO to BW.
from bw to apo, to feed planning area, characteristic value combination, in APO we have infocube to feed the data, as we know APO has BW inside (all the tcodes RSA1 etc are valid), datamart scenario is used here, we create infocube in APO, update rules, infosource and assign datasource from BW.
The data flow from APO to BW, to get the plan data inputted by user, we generate datasource in APO from planning area (compare with 'generate export datasource' from infocube), transaction /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR. 'extractor technology' here in practice is just like when we are using datasource
take a look
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/c9/199170f13711d4b2f20050da385632/frameset.htm
2. as mentioned in #1, you can use the transaction /SAPAPO//SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR to handle planning area-datasources in APO, or /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN - planning area; choose your planning area, and menu extractor tools (or generate datasources), again datamart scenario is used here, after the datasource generated in APO, it's replicated in BW (APO act as source system), the rest steps are just same as when extract data from other SAP source system
simply what you need to practice is /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR to 'generate export datasource',

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/e0/9088392b385f6be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
I believe you need to REPLICATE your data sources after generating them. Have you dione that?

APO DP and 3.5 BW Query

Hi All,
My boss had a question regarding using a query as a datasource for APO DP.
Is it possible to do this?
I am preparing for a meeting today and want to make sure I have all the information needed to answer questions.
Thank you!
Caroline

Yes it is possible
create an DataSource for your Planning Area (Transactio
n /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR) and then use that datasource to Connect it to a RemoteCube, construct a query on
the RemoteCube or
Connect the DataSource to a separate BW server, load the data there (or use a remotecube), and do the reporting from there.

How to extract data from APO to BW(not APO's BW)

Hi, expert.
Now I want to extract data from APO to BW (not APO's), what's the data flow.
1. APO datasource----->BW (not APO's) datasource----->BW (not APO's) infocoube
2.APO datasource----
>BW (APO's) -
>BW (not APO's)
I want to create query on the BW not APO's.
Which one is right? or there is another way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruce,
If I understand your question correctly your scenario 1 comes closest to a solution:
1) Create/activate Datasource in APO system and test it using tcode RSA3 (assuming it is SAP APO)
2) Replicate the Datasource in BW + create infopackage which will load the data into PSA
3) Create a DSO (if you like a layered approach) and a Cube on top + a Multiprovider above
4) Connect BW Datasource to DSO and DSO to cube (Transformations + DTPs to load)
5) Create a query on the Multiprovider
Hope this helps.

APO/BW: How to get back from APO to BW/ How the send data from BW to APO

Hi,
1. I read that BW is the data layer for APO DP and therefore, I expected data to flow from BW, the data layer, to APO DP but not the reverse. Yet, I also read that data can be transferred from Livecache back to BW by using the extractor technology from BW. Can you clarify this for me?
2. If possible, please provide the steps to use this extractor technology to extract data back to BW in detail so that I can try it.
Thanks

Hi Amanda,
1. The data flow is from BW to APO, and from APO to BW.

hi,
we can update bw infocube with planning data within a day, using datamart scenario, we generate datasource in apo for that planning area and replicate to bw, assign to infosource, and feed to bw infocube. steps
- logon scm, transaction /sapapo/msdp_admin, right click your planning area and 'display'(or 'change'
- in next screen, menu extras->generate datasource, given datasource name and click 'V', in next screen datasource screen, check if any 'hidden' should be remove, and 'save'. the datasource will succesfully generated. to test and check etc, menu extras->data extraction tools.
- logon to bw, right click apo source system (create it if you haven't), and choose 'datasource overview', expand 'bw datasources' ->business information warehouse -> datamarts -> right click datamarts and 'replicate datasource'
- create infosource in bw and assign with that datasource
- create infocube and update rules with that infosource and following bw standard steps
hope this helps.

Error in ListCube for Remote cube - Error in substep

Hi All,
To start with the details, I've 7.0 version datasource in APO and I've created Remote cube / Virtual provider Based on Data Transfer Process for Direct Access with transformation and some routines in rules.
I've also an "End Routine" as shown below
DATA RSLT_PKG_ROW TYPE tys_TG_1.
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE INTO RSLT_PKG_ROW.
RSLT_PKG_ROW-/BIC/ZTEST_QTY = 2.
MODIFY RESULT_PACKAGE FROM RSLT_PKG_ROW.
ENDLOOP.
My list cube runs fine and gives the required data without the above end routine for ZTEST_QTY.
when I add the above code in my end routine for populating data for ZTEST_QTY, it is throwing an error message
Error reading the data of InfoProvider
Error in substep.
someone please throw some light on this.
Thanks
KI

Modify your code to this:
CONSTANTS: c_2(1) TYPE n VALUE 2.
LOOP AT result_package
INTO <result_fields>.
<result_fields>-/bic/ztest = c_2.
ENDLOOP.
Since the FIELD-SYMBOLS of <result_fields> has been automatically declared in the End Routine, there's no need to define a work area and modify the internal table with the data from the work area.

Help with 0CALMONTH

Hi all,
I have a report in which i have to view all actual sales for the past 4 years.

Can any one help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.

I am working in BW APO (I am new to APO)this cube which i am working on will get data from Live Cache.
There is one Unique menthod of create Back up Cube and datasource in APO.
When you say 0CALMONTH2, should i have to created one time char taking 0CALMONTH as reference and include in the model.
This are the steps which i did
New structure, new selection and selected 0calmonth and the key figure and then created text variable which is processed by replacement path as you specified in the previous post.
When i did this i was not able to see even the months (01/2002, 02/2002,....)which i was seeing without the structure.
Please currect me if i have done anything wrong.
Thanks in advance

Settings for Data transfer

Hi,
Please explain me the settings/configuration to load the data from R/3 to APO.
If I am not wrong ,we give path name in info package if the data is to come from flat file. What about data from R/3?
Thanks,
Prabhat Sahay

Hi Prabhat,
you can choose the option for R3 data source in transfer rules in Infosource and then assign the required R3 data source to infosource. It is advisable to replicate the R3 datasource in APO BW also.
yes, you are correct, if you would like to load the data from a flat file then you need to choose the option of flat file in transfer structure of infosource. Also ensure the data needs to be in the same sequence as the KF sequence defined in Infosource.
Let me know if it helps.
